lol i found that my silver still saves (i didn't change the battery) but my gold will not save i'll try this out thx

dude same thing for my gold and silver

i will try this out

for some reason my silver (that still saves) whont give the option to switch pokemon in a battle and as for my gold..................... i was going to battle RED... but ...but...but...*breaks down screaming and crying on the floor pounding the floor with my fists* ................it wouldn't save and i couldn't continue *crying again ..... the neibhors call the vets because they think their's a dying animal*

I had a quick question/comment about batteries that had to be repaired:
Is it related to game play time? I know I had to replace my Silver's battery when it neared 500 hours. My Blue and Yellow are still working today although both have less than 100 hours and older than Silver. Crystal has about 130 hours. Anyone remember their hours before it had to be fixed?

Ok, so the battery degrades after about 6 or 7 years, but is that since manufacture or since first use? There are some factory sealed copies still around, and I already fixed my silver. I'd like Gold but don't want to have to go through doing this again. Anyone?

I was getting sick and tired of unscrewing the little Nazi screws on the back of my gameboy games to change the battery in them. so I made a special screwdriver to make it a lot easier to unscrew them. all you need is a quarter inch wide Flathead screw driver, a Dremel (rotary tool), a metal cutting attachment, and a metal grinding attachment. First you need to grind the flathead of the screwdriver to the thickness of 4 pieces of paper. Now you need the cutting attachment to cut the center of the of the flathead to the width of the inner part of the screw, and use trial and error until it gets a good grip of the screw. now use the grinding attachment to grind the sides of the flat head to where it won't scrape the cartridge. Now it will take a lot of trial and error to get this to fit and work right.

P.S. i made that screwdriver in the first post.
P.S.S. if your retarded and hurt yourself doing this i'm not responsible

I don't really expect this thread to get any replies (and probably a minimum amount of views since nobody plays GSC anymore), but I thought I'd just throw this out here in case someone actually does care.

I recently discovered a product that can back up saved data AND do your cheating all in one device. It is called Monster Brain, and it can be found on EBay for a relatively cheap price. I got mine for $1.29 + shipping, but it seems to be slightly less common and more expensive now. I made a video on it located here, but since my camera sucks floppy donkey , I'm going to break down all the things it can do in text. All pink text is GSC exclusive.

-> Backup (backs up saved data)
-> Restore (restores a file saved in the monster brain to the cartridge inserted)
-> Delete (deletes a backup)
-> Erase saved game (erases saved game on the cartridge (!))

Honestly I think it's a great product, and if you hate when your game randomly corrupts your data, I highly suggest getting this. It's also good to edit your Pokemon and items and makes things a lot easier.

Um...how is it harmful? It hasn't caused any harm to my games. Don't make any blind assumptions either.

Batteries that fit inside the cartridges (CR2016, CR2025, and CR032) are about $2.50 each. They usually come in a pack of 2 though, so you'll be paying just under $5. You can get any of the 3, but CR2025 is the most desirable. CR2016 is a pretty small battery, so I try to avoid it and get CR2032 if I cannot find CR2025 at the store. The only problem with CR2032 is its larger than the battery thats *supposed* to be in the cartridge (CR2025) so its a bit harder to get the cartridge back together. My Silver Version runs off a CR2025, Gold and Crystal run off CR2032. All three are Durecell brand.

the battery in Emerald shouldn't be going bad. RSE uses little batteries too, but just to keep track of time. The memory is stored in a flash chip and if your cartridge won't hold a save or it's telling you the battery is dead, I would question its authenticity or damage done to the cartridge.

By the way, it's fine to reply to this thread even if nobody has posted in a while, it's stickied for a reason. :)

Ooh thanks for the tip! My friend gave me his Gold version that didn't save for my birthday in August, 2008 (yeah, real old by then) and I want it to save soooo bad!
But, I have a question: If the file saved when the battery worked, and you haven't played it in like 10 years and you put in a new battery, will it still play on your saved file, or will it create a whole new file?
